Looking for some info on this event.  This will be my first time at York on a Thursday and I want to attend this.  It looks like there is only one Fridays in York, on 1411 Kenneth Rd.  What time does it start?  Do you need to register/signup?  Should I plan to eat before or during the get together?  Thanks.

There is only 1.

 

There is no official start time although folks tend to start around 6 to get a seat and eat.  Follow the banner in the rear of the restaurant

 

No need to register.

 

You can eat somewhere else or at Fridays.  I tend to eat in the main restaurant and then go to the OGR area just because its a bit crowded and busy.  But folks eat and chat back there too so it's really your choice.

I got to make a list of all I want to see for my first York also! Wife and I have it on our plans but can't do membership or registration til Sept. I think we will hit Strasburg on Wed, then head to York. I know things are gonna book up quickly but we have no choice but to wait til Sept for that also.

Think I'm going to do Friday's on Thursday night this time around. I always miss the OGR event which is billed as the great get together for York. I'm not going to miss this one as I have plenty of friends from the forum who attend (or at least I think I have some friends)

 

P.S. Years ago, we always had the AOL BBQ at the York fairgrounds and at the Viking Club on Friday nights but that has seen the end of the line.

I always get there too late when the party is winding down. They have a Marx show and tell at one of the fire houses that I go to before hand, so I usually don't get there until about 9 or so.

 

Which might be a good strategy if you're the new guy, as there will be less guys there that you have to buy the beer for

Chris, in the "tribe" we call those Bar Mitzvah pictures.

 

Marty, great to see that you're going to buy that "young guy" Allan a beer. Isn't that Locolawyer's job?

 

Alan, will you be bringing Roger with you? I hope so.

 

If you don't have a great time at Friday's, you are definitely doing something wrong.

 

Don't you mean Ravens?  Everyone seems to assume because someone lives in Pa. that they are a Steelers fan, if you live in York your actually closer to Philly or Washington, how come no one thinks you might be a Redskins or Eagles fan? On any given weekend you will definitely see more Ravens fans than Steelers fans out and about. Over the past few years a lot of Baltimore expats have moved up into Southern Pa. and York, so much so that the local TV station has been designated as a Ravens station. In fact in my area I only know of 3 Steelers fans, the place is covered in purple on Sundays.
